Thicket collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no server for your data to go to. Your boards, your progress, and your settings stay on your device.
Thicket is published by Get Puzzled, operated by Beacon Light Investments, Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. For any privacy question, contact kyled@beaconlightinvestments.com.
Thicket is intended for people aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them — which is straightforward, because we do not collect personal information from anyone.
Nothing. The app contains no analytics library, no crash-reporting library, and no advertising library, and it contains no code capable of making a network request. There is no mechanism by which information could reach us.
Boards in progress, piece positions, completed-puzzle history, timing statistics, difficulty and appearance settings, the snap radius, and the haptics toggle are stored locally in the app's own storage. We cannot read any of it. Deleting the app deletes all of it — see the Data Deletion Policy.
Thicket works identically with no signal, because it never needs a connection. The one exception is that tapping a link to this website — the privacy policy or terms links on the age screen — opens your own browser, at which point your browser makes an ordinary request to this site. That request comes from your browser, not from the app.
Thicket's picture packs are a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never receive or store your payment details, and we receive no information about you from the store beyond whether the purchase is valid.
Thicket's settings include a privacy section with controls for analytics and advertising. They are present because the consent machinery is built and tested ahead of any SDK that would need it, and they are all off. Nothing is collecting today whatever those controls are set to. If that ever changes, this policy changes first — see below.
We share nothing, because we hold nothing. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
We hold no personal data, so there is nothing for us to retain or to set a retention period on. Data stored on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the app.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict its processing. Those rights attach to data a company holds about you, and we hold none. Write to kyled@beaconlightinvestments.com and we will answer within the period required by applicable law. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
If we ever add analytics, crash reporting, or advertising to Thicket, this policy is updated before that version ships, the store privacy disclosures are updated to match, and you are asked for consent in the app before any collection begins. Nothing starts collecting quietly on an update.
